उत्तर
We eat chana, moong, etc. after sprouting. They Eire soaked in water overnight. Then the water is drained out and they are kept in a basket or suspended in a cloth so that they can get air. Chana takes about 36-48 hours to sprout, while moong takes about 24-36 hours.

Plant your seeds
Take a clay pot or a tin can with a wide mouth. Make a small hole at the bottom of the can. Fill your can with soil. Put four or five seeds of the same kind in the soil and press them gently. Different groups can plant different kinds of seeds, such as mustard (sarson), fenugreek (methi), sesame (til) or coriander (dhania).
